have you looked at the cubase web site? I think they have it on there for download although for some reason when I d/l it, I had problems with the file that was posted there but that was earlier this year... it may be working now. I don't have access to it right now but if no one has gotten around to it by this eve... I will send it to you in email if you like.

..that'd be great if you could send it here:)

Can't you get PT to work properly with your Mbox? Is that why you're interested in using Cubase? The PT/Mbox instructions are very shitty, but PT is alright

[aladinsane]

I've got no problems with PT or the Mbox and they work fine together. I just want an ASIO driver for the Mbox (if it indeed exists - I'm starting to loose hope), so I can work with other app's (live, reason..) with the Mbox as the audio interface. that's all.
does the driver exist? and if so - where can I find it?

Yes it does, i personaly use it with Digital Performer. It's not very optimized, but it works!
Propagamma is also making a commercial ASIO driver, with better performance, for what i heard.

If you need the basic asio, drop me an e-mail and i'll send it to you.

Bye.

I haven't set it up yet but I just downloaded the ASIO driver from the Steinberg site at...

ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/download/mac/hardware/


As far as I know all you have to do is drop it into your ASIO folder within your application folder (I'm using Cubase). In Cubase audio preferences, you can choose between Soundmanager or DigiDesign. Select Digidesign & it should work.

[aladinsane]

I've tried the driver Yukulele sent me. many, many thanks, but it seems it doesn't work (tried dropping it into live's ASIO folder). I'll soon see if this one, from the link supplied by djcweed, works.
again, djcweed, Yukulele, thanks for all your help. I'll post the results.

[Teiwaz]

It would appear that it is quite awkward to get dodgydesign stuff to work with anything other than it's own native profools, wouldn't it...?

A little wobbly kneed at the foundations...?

[aladinsane]

lets not start this argument again.

Maybe it get corrupted in the transfer?
It works here with Digital Performer, Peak, and any ASIO compatible apps... Very strange...

Anyone using the Propagamma USB ASIO driver in the assembly? I'll be glad to here any feedback from a user, ie does it really improve performance? In what way?

Bye.

You're aladinsane, not me!!



Not wanting to argue at all...peace!

It turned out the driver did get get corrupted, but the one at the steinberg site (address provided by djcweed in an earlier post on this thread) works fine with live.

thanks all, and Teiwaz - peace.

Hello.

I am keen to buy an m box, as i would like to have the choice of using Logic and pro-tools, but it seems that the ASIO drivers mentioned here won't work with Logic.

can anyone help me out?
will an M box work with logic if a driver is out there?

please let me know via: info@kingunique.com

[aladinsane]

Matt - why won't they work with logic? ASIO is ASIO (is ASIO).
I myself haven't yet tried, but if it works in general, it should work with logic too. should it not?

[matt Roberts Kin...]

i am keen to try one, it's just i don't want to get stuck with one if it doesn't work. i was just trying to actually find someone who has had it working

(it's all shrouded with mystery innit??)

if you have any info on the mbox / asio / logic

cheers

If you wish to work with Logic on a budget, the EMI26 is arguably your best option. Made by Emagic especially for Logic, but it's also compatible with other soft platforms that support ASIO.

Mbox...hmmmm, only really works with Protools/RTAS. No digi hardware really works with anything else other than PT. This is deliberate, as Protools is the big carrot, and digi want YOU to buy into their hardware!


Steinberg apparently created an ASIO driver that supports the Mbox, but Digidesign don't want anyone to know about it...!! It's apparently buried somewhere on Steinberg's site...you'll have to do some scavenging there.
